SIPS scheduled with Dr. Roslin on 7/17!
hi everyone,
haven't posted in a while. my first post was about a year ago when I first began investigating bariatric surgery.
pleased to say after finally getting all my materials in to insurance, I was approved and am scheduled for a SIPS surgery with Dr. Roslin at Lenox Hill a week from Monday! I'm pretty excited but also a bit nervous. Any advice you have for my first month out?
Looking forward to being a more active member of the boards moving forward!

Thanks for your response. I'm still baffled about the common channel. I know everyone is different but the range of lengths from patient to patient and individuals ability or inability to loose weight sounds like a crapshoot. ???????
However, I still love my DS.
I think it's great that you have been so successful. I wish you continued success on your journey.
Until there is any long-term data, it really is a crapshoot, and experimental by all definitions. You'll see it called a modified DS, SADI, Loop DS. Every surgeon has their own spin on it, so there's no standardization. They bill insurance as a DS, and some have had their claims denied if someone from the insurance company looks at the op report closely and discovers some significant differences.
This might be the next greatest thing, but it just takes time. Surgeons cheating the system aren't helping to give it any integrity, though.
